The joke is that Cisco network switches never die
In the future the entire network will have been modernized and refitted except for the switches. (Just like some Organs)
But organs do get modernized…
In the future old Cisco network switches will be like pipe organs

They genuinely don’t make them like they use to.
I had some 2950s and 3750s in the same rack on a dirty power circuit and we lost 3 ups and 2 3750s over 5 years but that 2950 just kept working.

Cisco switches are full of bugs.

Most of the internet infrastructure above the LAN side is actually Nokia switches these days. Cisco has lost a lot of market share.

You will be shocked Howe much old shit is still out there. I know of a few national providers who still have Cisco 7200vxr in production.

I work for an ISP, I definitely know how long old equipment gets held onto. Lol. Not saying it doesn’t happen, just saying Cisco isn’t the ubiquitous quality product it used to be.

I do not miss scrambling to cover someone else’s tech debt when an executive gets caught with their pants down.
